[Multiplayer Protocol]

There's some confusion in here. Let me clear all that up.

No, we do not use UDP, we use TCP only. See https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/blob/develop/src/network/network.cpp#L660

The packets are simply game commands, a function that alters game's logic state. See https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/blob/develop/src/game.c#L439

The only way you could do a server in Java* is by implementing full logic of the game (i.e. full and exact recreation of 0.0.4 bar the actual UI stuff) as this is what we sync right now over the wire, along with the tick, across all connected parties. See https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/blob/develop/src/network/network.cpp#L1824-L1891

*which is insane and ill-conceived idea. Certainly possible and doable, but I would bet almost any money you won't pull through.

Okay, thanks.

Then I suggest reading up about that, instead of checking the source code of projects.

That still doesn't really answer my question :P, how do you identify packets, with ID's, or..? And in what order is the packet data (for example: 1. uint ID 2. byte[] data, etc)

Yes, by checking the source. Why do you want to know that?

I'm thinking about writing my own server implementation in Java (multithreaded) which allows plugins, but i'm not really a C/C++ pro
Is there any way you can tell me how the packes are build, and do you use id's?

Hi,

Is there any way i can see the multiplayer 'protocol' which explains how the OpenRCT2 multiplayer packets are built?
